Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews! I feel so inspired! Err… about the obation-ovation thing. Actually it IS ovation… I read my Webster dictionary and opened the Encarta dictionary I found in my computer. It IS ovation.

o·va·tion ō váysh'n loud and long applause: enthusiastic applause or cheering, especially from a crowd or large group of people

Sorry about the lyrics… I mean… I already downloaded the video of "Lose my breath" so I can describe their outfits… I'm really, really sorry for the wrong lyrics! Gomen nasai miz-annonymouz04!

And the reason why Evil Gurla was not present in the last chapter was because… well you told me that my evil side has taken control over me, which is in fact, Evil Gurla. So… I sent her to somewhere and cleared my mind! Anyway… She's back… I mean… I can't stop being evil… MUHAHAHAHA!

So… err… on with the story? Want a disclaimer? Read the previous chapters… oh and I am now going to insert some TxC and ExT… happy?

Chapter XI: The Coming Dance

After the incident… things went back to normal… well, kind of.

Touya got out of the hospital a day after the last chapter, due to his fractured right leg; he has a wheel chair which is being pushed around by his girlfriend, Naruku. Naruku temporarily moved in with Sakura and Touya to take care of him, and has issued a letter informing the school that both of them wouldn't be able to enter school until Touya will recover.

Sakura and Syaoran patched things up eventually, yet there is still a feeling of awkwardness between them. Sakura's slowly realizing that she loves him… But Syaoran… what about him? And now… on to the story…

Tomoyo Daidouji was walking along the corridors towards her class. There were a bunch of unknown people spread in the corridor, since it was still early. She smiled at people who waved at her… smiled at acquaintances… smiled at some friends… and eventually entered the classroom which was inhabited by her and another.

Realizing who the person was, she scowled yet she was truly admiring his looks… how his eyes twinkled in the sun, his midnight blue hair neatly-combed and his sly smile that he showed her, and only to her. Sometimes she thought why he would act different towards her. And sometimes, she would just like to ask why he was being more adorable when she was around. Maybe it was for fun… maybe it was because she was fun to tease… and maybe it was… just maybe… he liked her.

Her thoughts were interrupted with a voice that she was accustomed to, she glared fiercely at him. "Ohayo Daidouji-san" he smiled.

Tomoyo was taken aback, she was expecting a rude comment, but no… he surprised her with a polite comment and a wonderful smile. A streak of pink gently made their way onto her face while she smiled faintly as well. "Ohayo Hiiragizawa-san"

She slowly made her way to her desk, which was weirdly in front of his owns. She gently placed down her lavender handbag and started to fix her things. She was interrupted again, when she heard him ask a question.

"Daidouji, do you know about the dance this coming Friday?" he asked nervously.

'The dance this Friday?' She asked herself. 'Oh! I remember that…'

"Yes" she replied shortly. "I do"

"Do you know what it's for?" he asked again.

"I am not sure, but based on what I've heard, some people paid our school to host this party of some kind. I think it will be a farewell party, yet I still don't know to whom we will bid farewell" she answered looking at everything except HIM.

"I see… Has anyone asked you to the dance yet?"

"Uhm… no…" she blushed.

"So… can I ask you to the dance?" he smiled sheepishly.

And being too caught up in the moment, or what Tomoyo thinks, she nodded her head with a word of approval which is "Sure".

"Great!" He smiled gravely, presenting his white, sparkly teeth. "I'll talk to you later" he rushed towards the door.

Tomoyo realized that she was smiling. Not the smiles she gave to the people in the corridors, not to acquaintances, not to friends… She seemed to have a smile for him, and only for him.

'Eriol…' she pondered. 'What are you doing to me?'

"Chiharu, did you know about the dance this Friday?" Takashi asked as he casually kicked a rock on the road.

"It's this Friday already?" she asked as she tucked a stray strand of her brown hair behind her ear.

"Yup" he replied.

Chiharu nodded her head in understanding. She thought about all the dances she had been to. And one thing remained the same; her date was only Takashi, and only him. She wondered how in every dance, they ended up together. And yet, she seemed to enjoy every part of it, the dancing, the food, laughs, and everything of the like. But as she noticed, in all the dances that they have been to, he hasn't asked her on his own free will. They would only go to the dance because they were pestered by their friends or because they completely forgot that they were the only ones who didn't have dates; and they were the only ones who were available.

"So…" he started. "Do you already have a date?" he asked as he looked away, a streak of faint red on his cheeks.

"No… but judging from our past experiences, you're going to be my date" she giggled.

Takashi thought about it. 'So… she's forced to be my date?' he thought.

"Not that I mind though" she mumbled as she looked away.

Takashi smiled at that confession, "I see… So… want to go to the dance with me?" he asked.

Chiharu stopped and stared at Takashi like he was an alien. "What?" she asked her voice barely above a whisper.

"Do you want to go to the dance with me?" he stopped a few steps in front of her, but did not look back at her.

Chiharu smiled and linked her arm around his. "We're going to be late" she giggled as she dragged him to the entrance of the school.

Takashi smiled as well, and shook his head as he looked fondly at the girl in front of him. 'Thank you' he thought. And pondered more as he remembered how they act in front of their friends, true that Chiharu would get mad at him for telling false stories, but that was before. The fights they had gradually decreased and changed into casual and friendly conversations. But in front of their friends, they would still act like the Chiharu and Takashi that they have known long ago.

"Syaoran Li…" Sakura mumbled as she absent-mindedly twirled a lock of hair in her fingers. What did she think about the boy that made her heart flutter every time he smiled? She felt an indescribable feeling… that it made her feel weird. Day by day, she would realize how important he is in her life. And this day was not an exception. She was sitting on a bench that was found in the playgrounds of their school. She felt the crisp air enveloping her figure and shivered. It was Autumn.. Funny how time seem to pass when you're having fun.

Her train of thought was interrupted when she heard a rustle of leaves. She slowly turned around from where she was seated and looked into the eyes of the person who caused the interruption, and gasped as she realized who it was.

"What are you doing here?" she whispered as she gazed into the person's eyes.

Gurla: Weee!

Evil Gurla: MUHAHAHA! Cliffies rock!

Gurla: So who DID Sakura see? Syaoran or somebody else?

Evil Gurla: If someone gets the right answer, we'll give you a fast update for the next chapter!

Gurla: Bye! RR onegai!
